IMPACT
We’re all about strong partnerships with organizations that support food access and equity, education, and environmental action and justice.
Since day one, we’ve valued and cultivated long-term partnerships with local organizations devoted to social responsibility. We donate to, sponsor, volunteer with, and show up for our partners who support food access and equity. We’re all in this together.
Community Donations
We donate 10% of our after-tax profits back into the communities we serve.
Bag it Forward
Every time you bring in a reusable bag to one of our stores, 5 cents goes to local nonprofits we support and believe in.
Cans for Kids
Each redeemable used can or bottle you bring into your store becomes a 10-cent donation right into the pocket of that neighborhood’s school foundation.
